Miri Mesika (Hebrew: מירי מסיקה; born May 3, 1978) is an Israeli singer and actress. She won several Israeli Female Singer of the Year awards. She has sold more than 100,000 copies of her albums in Israel.
Miriam ("Miri") Mesika was born and grew up in Herzliya of Tunisian and Iraqi descent. As a child she studied music, and played the guitar and the recorder at the city music school. In 1994, she was accepted to HaYovel High School, where she studied theatre and music. She served as an operations NCO in the IDF's Infantry Corps.
In 1999, Mesika started her studies at the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music in Ramat HaSharon, the leading music school in Israel that exported many Israeli singers such as Noa and Aviv Geffen. She was part of the "magic class", studying together with Keren Peles and Aya Korem, that went on to be popular singers.
During her studies at Rimon, she participated in several ensembles. In one of them she met the musician Ori Zakh, who went on to become her husband and record producer. Miri and Ori married on 2 June 2005. She took part in the Shirimon song contest, a song contest of the Rimon School, and won the first place with David De'or's song Mishehu Kayam produced by Zakh.
